Great trip to Monteverde - We had a great tour with Alex as our knowledgeable guide/driver! We enjoyed the stops along the way (cute monkeys were an highlight) and had a great time exploring the hanging bridges. It was a wonderful way to experience Monteverde from San Jose without the hassle of renting a car and driving on the narrow curving roads. Alex also made a few stops just to enjoy the scenic views so that we could take photos!

Amazing tour guide and tour! - Amazing experience! Alex Blanco was a fantastic tour guide! He was super patient, incredibly helpful, and very funny. He gave us great recommendations for places to eat and snacks to try, along with helpful tips throughout the excursion, including how to properly feed the monkeys. He really made the experience enjoyable and stressfree. I would definitely recommend him as your tour guide for any excursions you do!

Great time and food ☺️ - Alex was super fun and nice! My family enjoyed the trip and he spoke great english explaining everything along the way aswell! The food at the stop was extremely good and I loved the mango juice! The destinations were also fun, I liked seeing the monkeys, hanging bridges, and the gondola! The feeling of going through the clouds is something else. Definitely worth the experience!

Awesome experience! - We loved our time spent here in the cloud forest. The trees, plants, and animals were amazing. We saw a howler monkey! The sky tram was a cool ride into the clouds and the hanging bridges were fun to walk across and look for animals.

Too much bus... - Too much bus, more than 7 hours and for us it was not confortable enough for such mong trip (hard seats, small for tall passengers).
So at the end,despite the nice visit in the parc and the great job of our guide and driver, we did not enjoy that much. The tour of Paz tropical forest and waterfall was by far much better.
